The Amortization Issue
Currently in Washington, congress and its committees
have been considering measures that would help industry to
protect the investments now being made to increase defense
production capacity. "Amortization" is the term commonly
applied to the operation involved.
Experts are generally agreed that for these new defense
plants, five years is about the proper period during which
the original investment should be redeemed. In the case of
factories making peacetime products, the period is usually
much longer—twenty years or more.
There is a reason for the difference between the two
amortization periods. The five-year period is based upon
the knowledge that, once the emergency has passed, plants
making war equipment, are likely to become useless. The only fair protection for the investors who have put their money
in these enterprises to aid national security is to be as sure
as possible that the proper reserves are established in a reasonably short time.
Though it is sometimes forgotten, funds invested in industry come from the average individuals all over the coun-
\ try. Besides the eleven million people in America who are
; stockholders, there is the vastly greater number who have
[ invested, indirectly in the welfare of industry through
j banks, insurance companies, and institutions of that type.
f ...
| **" The security of tens of millions of American families—
i arid the security, too, of our.entire economic structure—is in-
\ volved in this question of amortization. It is not a technical
matter; it has a very direct and practical relation to the average American community.
' Congress *will be miaking a real contribution, not only to
soufid operation of our armament program but. to the future
security of American families and the savings upon which
those families depend, by passing the five-year amortization
measure as, soon as possible..
m LahofWdy(Philosophy
Many of our people who believe in labor and want to
work, will say that the past few years have not been happy
ones for them. If they couldn't find work, they ask what
Labor day means to them. They will say that if the thought
of Labor day is any good, it should be able to find work for
ell who want to labor. A Labor day celebration for those
whom the world will not Permit to tebor, seejns a great deal
of a contradiction to them.
To which the answer can be made, that the scarcity of
work in past years has at least given people g. new conception
of the value of labor. .Where previously many people were
indifferent about their jobs, ana acted as if they didn't care
whether they worked or not, now they realize that the possession of a good job should be the subject of great rejoicing.
They are able to see that work is the salvation of the
human race, that without labor people, are in danger of losing
their energy and ambition, and that something of then-
power and morale slips away before they know it.
W' The day when some of these people got their jobs back
again was one of the happiest of their lives. Where they had
previously felt discouraged and hopeless, now they feel themselves one again with the great army of toil, and able to
share in its joys, and accomplish some of the gains which
regular work brings. '
Labor day should teach us all to try to do the very best
in whatever task has been given us. The people who look
anxiously" at the clock to see if quitting tim(e is not almost
here, have not learned the true philosophy of Labor Day.
Rather they should prize every hour of the day that permits
them to do npre of the work of the world, and share more
generously in the production of the useful and pleasant
things which the world needs for its welfare.

Worship Of the Nation
In. some parts of the world there" seems to be what
might be called a new religion. That is the worship- of the
government, or the state, as they call it in Europe. In a
country like Russia, for instance, the government throws religion overboard, and the .majority of the people seem to accept Communismj as a kind" of religion. The government
takes the place once occupied by religious faith. The nation
is substituted for' God. *
They have not gone nearly as far as that in Germany
or Italy, but the so-called "Totalitarian" state, attempts to
put the regulation of daily life under the control of the government. The people are told they have to obey-the government, as they once were told they had to obey God. *
In our country too,' we are told we should obey the government, but. the government does not attempt to regulate
all our'lives. Under our American systemi, the people are
free to choose whatever religion they want to. •
Can the nation be substituted for God? One trouble
with this conception is that the nation consists only of human
beings, all of whom are more or less likely to error and mistake. If everything is decided by the heads of the government, they are likely to decide on harmful and dangerous
courses that get their people into wars, and produce nothing
but. trouble or sorrow. Human wisdom is a very limited
thing, and we need something more than human guidance
to find our way through the wilderness of this life:
People have different views of the Bible, but one thing
is sure. The Bible comes nearer than anything else in, the
way of religion toward, showing us the way to live. When-
that book is" thrown away and the will of any man or group
of men is substituted, the"nations seem headed for trouble.
Three high school boys who attended l?oy's State in golumbus
last June entertained Rotary members Thursday evening with a resume of' the things they did and
learned there,
The b9ys were Tpm Schick, Max
Rohrer, and jack Weinhart. Speaking in turn they told how their
miniature government was operated, The whole assembly of 776 boys
was divided into two political parties, Federalists and Nationalists.
The Nationalist party, which the
three North Canton boys had joined
was successful in the elections,
gaining the most important offices.
In the §t"ate, Tom Schick ran
for attorney general but was not
successful. However he took the
Bar Examination, passed it successfully, and was allowed tq practice law, trying several cases,
Max Rohrer held the office of
Prosecuting Attorney.and in this
capacity set up county budgets,
city ordinances and also tried
several eases.
Jack Weinhart served as superintendent of Insurance in the commerce department. His duties included checking all insurance companies to see if they were adhering to the law. He also issued licenses to agents, insurance and
bonding companies. The boys spent
one day visiting the actual state
offices, meeting the men whose offices they were holding in Boy's
State. All of them received practical experience in the real workings of the state government. They
said they had learned rnore about
the workings of the government and
politics in the two weeks than they
did from all their text books in
civics and political science in
school.
At the close of the school each
boy who had attended it received a
certificate stating the official office he had held "and his rating in
if7 ,
In their talks the boys mentioned
that, during their two week's stay
in "Columbus they had slept in the
cattle barns at the fair grounds
where the school .was .held,,and declared that they, made good, sleeping quarters.
The rest of the Rotary program
consisted of a brief talk by David
Glass concerning the English refugee children. He told of their
trip from New York.to North Canton and stressed their . good behavior. Visitors at -the meeting
were Walter Firestone and Richard
Parker from the Canton Rotary
club. -
The regular meeting.for Rotary
this week is to be a picnic at .Witwer park. Rotarians are. to-bring
their families and all the food is to
be furnished. Supper will be served
at 6:30, preceded by a ball game.
The club service committee is arranging the program for the evening. •

Vacationers Tell
Of Experiences
Boys See Wild Horses, Buffalo, Deer and Bear in West
A bus load of North Canton and
Canton boys arrived in North Canton at 9 o'clock Saturday evening
tired but happy and completely engrossed- in -their- stories---^of the
things they had seen on their first
trip' to the West and"1 Yellowstone
National park.
The boys left North Canton August 5 on a three weeks western
journey and outside a few minor
disturbances and the illness of one
of their companions, they reported a great time. They made a
sightseeing tour of the trip both on
their way to Yellowstone and home
again. They spent four days ca:
ing in the park and had several
citing moments with th£v"bears
there.
They did not leaj^the park on
their return trip afe they had planned, due to several forest fires in
the vicinity. /Among the many
things which.-'they saw on, their return trip was Custer's famous battlefield and Red Dodge, the type
of Western town most often described byj, the movies.
Travel in Dust Area
The route they chose took them
over Big Horn mountain which
they got over without any difficulty although it is not recommended
for bijises. At one place in Nebraska they traveled over a highway
that was covered with eight inches
of dust and had the appearance of
a dirt road except for a few clear
places where the pavement showed.
The. boys also saw a herd of wild
horses, buffalo, and at one place,
while traveling along the highway
were easily outdistanced by a kangaroo deer running parallel with
the highway.
On their way home the vacationers came back through Deadwood,
S. D. where they had left one of
their companions, Bill McGeehon
on the trip out. The boy had been
stricken seriously ill and taken to
the hospital there, remaining there
while the others continued their
trip.
Tom Hurlburt stayed in Dead-
wood to accompany the other boy
home while the others came on
ahead. The two boys arrived in
Canton early Tuesday morning,

courses that get their people into wars, and produce nothing
but. trouble or sorrow. Human wisdom is a very limited
thing, and we need something more than human guidance
to find our way through the wilderness of this life:
People have different views of the Bible, but one thing
is sure. The Bible comes nearer than anything else in, the
way of religion toward, showing us the way to live. When-
that book is" thrown away and the will of any man or group
of men is substituted, the"nations seem headed for trouble.
Three high school boys who attended l?oy's State in golumbus
last June entertained Rotary members Thursday evening with a resume of' the things they did and
learned there,
The b9ys were Tpm Schick, Max
Rohrer, and jack Weinhart. Speaking in turn they told how their
miniature government was operated, The whole assembly of 776 boys
was divided into two political parties, Federalists and Nationalists.

Prosecuting Attorney.and in this
capacity set up county budgets,
city ordinances and also tried
several eases.

bonding companies. The boys spent
one day visiting the actual state
offices, meeting the men whose offices they were holding in Boy's
State. All of them received practical experience in the real workings of the state government. They
said they had learned rnore about
the workings of the government and
politics in the two weeks than they
did from all their text books in
civics and political science in
school.
At the close of the school each
boy who had attended it received a
certificate stating the official office he had held "and his rating in
if7 ,

that, during their two week's stay
in "Columbus they had slept in the
cattle barns at the fair grounds
where the school .was .held,,and declared that they, made good, sleeping quarters.

Canton boys arrived in North Canton at 9 o'clock Saturday evening
tired but happy and completely engrossed- in -their- stories---^of the
things they had seen on their first

journey and outside a few minor
disturbances and the illness of one
of their companions, they reported a great time. They made a
sightseeing tour of the trip both on
their way to Yellowstone and home
again. They spent four days ca:
ing in the park and had several
citing moments with th£v"bears
there.

their return trip afe they had planned, due to several forest fires in
the vicinity. /Among the many
things which.-'they saw on, their return trip was Custer's famous battlefield and Red Dodge, the type
of Western town most often described byj, the movies.
Travel in Dust Area
The route they chose took them
over Big Horn mountain which
they got over without any difficulty although it is not recommended
for bijises. At one place in Nebraska they traveled over a highway
that was covered with eight inches
of dust and had the appearance of
a dirt road except for a few clear
places where the pavement showed.
The. boys also saw a herd of wild
horses, buffalo, and at one place,
while traveling along the highway
were easily outdistanced by a kangaroo deer running parallel with
the highway.
On their way home the vacationers came back through Deadwood,
S. D. where they had left one of
their companions, Bill McGeehon
on the trip out. The boy had been
stricken seriously ill and taken to
the hospital there, remaining there
while the others continued their
